Does anyone know where the wiper arms are from? The search facility is down.

My (new) blade does not contact the windscreen in the middle on the up stroke, and the other day it caned it down here and driving became even more exciting for a while.

Many thanks,

Rich

I'm not sure where the originals came from, but I think Leven Technologies do good quality upgrade ones or you can get cheaper copies on ebay - both of these have a moulding on them which takes the tube for the wash wipe to put a bit of pressure on it rather than just dribbling like the originals.

I find mine is very sensitive to the actual rubber blades getting worn; try sticking in some of the refills from Halfords to help things out short term.

I already have the wash upgrade but I need new arms.

I don't mind paying for a set but wondered where the arms are from?

dunno - the wiper motor was st, so difficult to tell rolleyes

Adrian Venn has just sorted the motor, so when I get it the car back will have a better idea

joking aside, i feel they're better than original
